Any chance for albums combining all those rare, strewn around 45/EP tracks and great studio leftovers from -for instance- LONG WAY HOME ('The Ghost', 'Blackmail', 'Third Party, Fire And Theft', 'In My Own Crazy Way', 'Life's A Bitch' and others)? Once there was a 2 CD set entitled DO IT TILL WE DROP but it's seemingly vanished completely.

hi frankie,
i met you a couple of times in the 60's. first time airdrie palais at a battle of the bands. spirits, redcoats, house of lords,
stoics, etc i was in a duo with no chance! next time i met you was clydebank hub. you had formed a band with jim doris called 'howl'
a guy called billy hazely who roadied for the hi fi combo and later sang in a band with me introduced us and i was blown away with the music 'howl' played. speaking of the hi fi combo, do you remember kenny monroe, frankie much and davie jack? my scuddy little band used to sometimes play support to them, it was a way to open doors for us to get gigs, i always thought the hi fi' were under estimated, they were very very good. we used to get gigs at the picasso club, clydebank hub, kirkantilloch town hall, bathgate locarno, and shotts miners welfare hall, also abernethy hotel.oh! and of course the cafe club in bailleston (rough as guts!!) to name a few.
great memories.
anyway i hope you get this message and have as many fond memories as i have of those times all those years ago
best wishes,
martin spurrell.
